Monroe DMV and Tickets Are Separate Routes

Start by naming the ticket type and the agency printed on it. The locations page draws the ticket line clearly. The Auto License Bureau does not handle parking violations, and moving traffic tickets in Monroe County are handled by local courts. In Rochester, non-criminal moving violations go through the city’s Traffic Violations Agency, while criminal traffic matters go to criminal courts.

Handle registration or ID issues with DMV, but read the ticket for the named court or agency before paying or seeking a reduction.

Keep the ticket, violation number, date, response deadline, and named court or agency together. Use the DMV route only for a registration or ID issue. For a ticket, follow the local court or Rochester Traffic Violations Agency printed on the record.
